Jon Haehnel commented on Macie Melendez's blog post The Future of Home Performance is Wrapped in Cheese—Q&A with Dave Robinson"Dave is right on the mark. I hope the state efficiency programs take notice, they could help this kind of work if they would make changes in their policies. Without a natural driver for change, like high energy prices, we will have to…"
Jon Haehnel commented on Glen Gallo's blog post Building Science is not really science"Glen and Tom are right. To imply that because we have some training and/or experience under our belts and because we test we know exactly what to do in every building it naive. I always cringe at the…"
Jon Haehnel added a discussion to the group Energy Auditing Equipment for Sale, Trade or to Purchase
Minneapolis Blower Door for sale
Minneapolis Blower Door system in excellent condition, well maintained, and used only a few times. It includes a BD-3 series fan, a DG700 meter with Cruise Micromanometer, an adjustable frame with a single hole shroud. Includes all the necessary cords and hoses. I'd rather sell it to someone in New England so we can avoid shipping but I'm flexible if you're interested. $2200. Call 802-522-9713. See More

Jon Haehnel replied to randy tolowski's discussion New Certifications from BPI in the group Building Performance Institute (BPI)"Leslie,
There is still some confusion. Should an experienced auditor ditch envelope, analyst, and heating certifications for the new auditor certification when it is time to recertify? Or should she just ditch analyst,…"
Jon Haehnel replied to Ronald L. Stevens's discussion How to help new energy pros migrate into our new career as fresh students right out of class"Ronald,
I regularly teach students like you and I advise them to get a job in the industry as quickly as they can so they can gain experience AND learn about the industry. As long as it pays the bills don't fret too much about…"

Jon Haehnel replied to Thomas Price's discussion Multi Family Auditing"Phil,
Not to belabor the point but what did you mean by "give them powerful tools". I thought I had you pegged as opposed to the "tools" i.e. computer models, IR cameras, blower doors and the…"
Jon Haehnel replied to Thomas Price's discussion Multi Family Auditing"Phil,
You assume too much. You assume that I work for a program that funds my audits, I don't. Most of my audits are paid for by the owner, the full amount.
I don't guarantee savings. Do you? …"
Jon Haehnel replied to Thomas Price's discussion Multi Family Auditing"Thomas Price,
I’d like to pick up your doctor analogy; I think there is much in common between us and doctors (except pay).
I don’t believe that doctors typically prescribe more tests just to make more money. They know that every…"
Jon Haehnel replied to Classic Residential, Inc.'s discussion Learning Thermostat"How about it auditors? Does anyone have any data showing changes in electical consumption from one year to the next by using a thermostat setback with electric heat? It would be helpful in this conversation and…"
Jon Haehnel replied to Classic Residential, Inc.'s discussion Learning Thermostat"Michael,
Thanks for the data on setbacks. Very useful.
Ted,
Seems like the data we need that might convince you is if we take combustion out of the equation. What if we showed that setbacks worked in homes heated only by electric…"
Jon Haehnel replied to Classic Residential, Inc.'s discussion Learning Thermostat"I'd go with Michael Blasnik on this one. Tedkidd you strike me as sincere and knowledgeable on some aspects of HVAC but I sense that your understanding of energy is solely based on your experience and that you have no confidence in the…"
Jon Haehnel replied to Thomas Price's discussion Multi Family Auditing"Thomas,
I think you are on the right track. What can we do that still gives us reasonably accurate data yet not use up all the funds on the audit so there are none left for making improvements? I contend, and I can see that some disagree, that…"
